HKNY ENTERTAINMENT · NEW YORK CITY

YOUR BRAND. OUR PRODUCTIONS. THEIR APPLAUSE.

Commercial partnerships that put live entertainment onstage.

HKNY Entertainment creates and produces live experiences for New York audiences.

WHAT A SPONSOR RECEIVES

VISIBLE, APPROVED BRAND RECOGNITION

Contracted placements can include “Presented by” identification, business name and logo on event artwork, a production-page feature, a linked sponsor profile and inclusion in selected digital programs and promotions.

YOUR REASON FOR BACKING THE ART

A short approved sponsor story can explain why your business is participating, its connection to the community and what it wants audiences to know. Paid sponsorship features are identified as commercial relationships.

A MOMENT IN THE ROOM

Where the show permits, packages can include a host acknowledgment, planned sponsor introduction or brief audience interaction. The experience remains centered on the performers and guests.

A WRITTEN LIST OF DELIVERABLES

Your agreement identifies the exact event or series, package price, placements, approval deadlines, timing, permitted uses, any exclusivity, payment terms, reporting and cancellation or postponement arrangements.

HOW TO SPONSOR A PRODUCTION

PRESENTING SPONSOR

The lead commercial partner of a show or defined series. Presenting rights offer prominent billing and recognition, with category exclusivity where agreed. A presenting package may fund an entire production’s core sponsorship target.

SHARED SPONSORSHIP

Lead, featured and supporting sponsors can combine to fund a production. Each tier has a stated dollar amount and corresponding benefits. The inventory is specific to the show; shared lead rights do not automatically coexist with exclusive presenting rights.

SERIES & RESIDENCY PARTNERSHIPS

Businesses can sponsor a run of events, multiple editions or a recurring hospitality residency. Each engagement and its benefits are itemized in the commercial agreement.

THE VENUE KEEPS THE BAR

Our sponsor-funded venue arrangement allows the venue to operate its ordinary hospitality business and retain its bar and food sales. HKNY produces the entertainment and manages its agreed talent, show and sponsor obligations. The standard host arrangement does not require a venue-paid entertainment fee or bar-revenue split.

Unusual staffing, sound, equipment, safety, permitting, insurance or other incremental requirements are assigned in writing before the engagement is confirmed. Ticketing and other non-bar revenue arrangements are also agreed separately.

WHO SHOULD SPONSOR HKNY?

Hospitality groups, local retailers, beauty and fashion businesses, professional service providers, consumer brands and other companies that value New York's nightlife, creativity and social experiences. We match the sponsor with the show and audience context suited to its commercial objectives.

Sponsors purchase real promotional deliverables—not guaranteed attendance, consumer spending, artist endorsements, votes, competition outcomes or access to private guest data.

DISCUSS A SPONSORSHIP

A PRODUCTION IS A PARTNERSHIP

HKNY Entertainment is the producer and commercial seller of its own shows. OpenCall.NYC introduces eligible sponsorship opportunities to prospective businesses. CRG supplies the business infrastructure. Sponsor agreements identify the actual contracting entity and responsible producer.

Sponsorship is a paid commercial arrangement, not a charitable donation. A production date, venue, cast or advertising exposure is represented as confirmed only when the applicable arrangements are in place.

BACK THE NEXT SHOW.

Whether you want to present an entire production, become a featured partner or sponsor a recurring series, tell us what you want to accomplish. We'll connect the brand to the right entertainment opportunity.

WE MAKE THE SHOW. YOU HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN.
